Thermal storage based projects

Knode is actively developing thermal storage based projects at precinct scale.

TESSKW1: Helping industry achieve economic decarbonisation

Knode is building a thermal energy storage system (TESS) in Kwinana to provide around-the-clock heat as a service (HaaS).

Key Project Highlights

  • Long duration storage: 12 hours of continuous storage
  • Proven scale: A commercial scale-up from technology proven in MGA Thermal’s 5MWh demonstrator
  • Advanced Technology: Utilising MGA Thermal’s state-of-the-art blocks and cutting-edge medium voltage (MV) heaters to deliver superior capex and opex efficiency

Project Timeline
Knode has officially commenced the front-end engineering and design (FEED) study. FEED is expected to run until March 2027, with construction to follow.

Enabling the 24/7 renewable transition for heavy industry

As a community asset, a thermal energy storage system (TESS) offers a flexible storage mechanism that can dispatch both heat and energy. Given MGA’s scalability, it provides a large soak on the grid that can absorb the excess energy in the middle of the day, the “duck curve”, and store that energy for dispatch over long durations.
